In the silence where the echoes sleep,
A heart lies heavy, buried deep.
The world outside, a distant dream,
While shadows linger, unseen, they scheme.

The sun forgets to cast its glow,
In corners where the lost ones go.
A whispered plea, a muted cry,
Beneath the weight of a darkened sky.

Each breath a struggle against the tide,
As hope retreats, nowhere to hide.
Alone in this vast, endless night,
Searching for stars, for any light.

Yet even in this depth of despair,
A flicker of life, a breath of air.
For in the shadows, seeds are sown,
And from this darkness, strength is grown.
